PRINCE HARRY’s natural “idiocy” is the reason why the Duke of Sussex is considered the most popular member of the royal family, a documentary reveals.

The second son of Prince Charles and the late Princess Diana developed quite a reputation in his youth for being rebellious and rejecting royal traditions. Known for his love of partying and dislike of media attention, he was infamously pictured dressed as a Nazi in 2005 while, in 2012, he was photographed naked in a Las Vegas hotel after a game of strip billiards. However, the Duke of Sussex's career in the military set him on a new path and he quickly turned it around.

“I think people love him for all these three things.”

Royal biographer Robert Johnson added that even though “you wouldn’t think it”, Prince Harry is “the most popular member of the royal family".

He explained: “Before going on camera, before making a public speech, he is very nervous, but actually that adds to his naturalness and adds to the charm.”

The latest YouGov survey appears to confirm Mr Johnson's claim, as the Duke of Sussex topped a list of the most popular royals in 2018, with the Queen coming in second place.
